I think you meant to say, clocks can tick at different rates depending on their rate of motion relative to a stationary outside observer (the outside observer detects the change in time, not the one traveling, and vise versa: both can consider themselves stationary and the other moving, assuming the relative rate of motion is constant and straight line). Or by a strong gravitational field (clocks do tick more slowly when closer to the Earth's surface, and also along the equator due to the slightly more rapid rotational velocity of the Earth there). However, I've never heard of the heat effect on time, unless they mean due to an increase in kinetic energy?
I have a fix for it. Time seems to stop for the boy for a few seconds.

I agree with JRandomFreeper.
But I think there are more factors.
Time(not redundant, as one might think), distance, gravity, and heat.
Add to that, attitude, drugs, memory ability, environment, (including other people).
I assure you, FIVE MINUTES when you are busy, busy, busy, is nothing like FIVE MINUTES sitting absolutely still, watching the clock count it off.

Time can be very relative, especially if you have your relatives visiting for the weekend.
Eh? Einstein himself explained it:
"How long 5 minutes is depends on whether you are kissing a pretty girl or sitting on a stove!"
